    the ****? one low blow went in, likely accidental, why should he have stopped it? Refs aren't supposed to stop a fight whenever the boxer feels like taking a break. From then on, Flores was KD with head shots.

    As much as many refs are **** in the sport these days and as many refs in the UK stop fights a bit too early, can't fault him last night.

        Excellent thread it was long overdue.

        Its undeniable that Eddie Hearns Prize-fighters have been assigned the worst refs for world championship fights and this is by design. Let the evidence lead you to the truth...In the Lee Selby vs. Eric Hunter Marcus McDonnell ( from the UK) was assigned this crook deducted points off hunter for legal shots that were on the belt line ; that act neutralized Hunters knockdown over Selby and lead to the robbery! then O'Connor was assigned for Linares vs. Crolla -- the fix was apparent from the beginning it was so obvious that Paulie Malignaggi had to check Carl ' The Worm ' Foch and his partner in crime Adam Smith as they blatanly ignored the mistakes that O'Conor was making in there and exposing their bias for the fellow Britt.

        Last week Howard Foster was assigned for Burns vs. Kiryl Relikh, that fight was one of the worst inexcusable roberries I ever seen in my life given Ricky Burns history -- They should change his name to 'Freeway' Ricky ; too give you a sample of how bad Howard Foster is all you got to do is turn up the volume right before he is announced ( in the UK btw) and now this week Ian John Lewis was assigned for Bellew-Flores!.....and if you still have any doubt...look at Eddies favorite Cashcow Anthony Joshua : Ian John Lewis , Howard Foster , O'Connor have been assigned for his most significant fights....but the one that sticks out the most is Jean-Pierre Van Imschoot who was never assigned to officiate a world championship fight at least to my knowledge. So to sum it up you have to go into these Britts backyard with the ref against you AND possibly contending with at least one Judge in Hearns pocket.
